ftbe 2 i. i 'Tp - Sixth Year---No. 50. Grand Forks, B. C, Friday. July 12, 1907. $1.00 Per Year in Advance. THECIIYCOUNCIL Power Agreement With W. K. P. & L. Co. Approved by the Council Waterworks Bylaw Prohibits Lawn Sprinkling Between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. The mayor and all tbe aldermen were present at tbe special meeting of the city council last Friday evening. Tbe board of works recommended tbe construction of a foot bridge across tbe river at First street. They reported tbat tbe old piers would not be suitable for a light top, and it would be better to put in new piers closer in and leave tbe channel free. The matter is to be taken up at once with the Yale-Columbia Lumber company. Mayor Hammar laid an agreement with the West Kootenay Power & Light company on the table for the consideration of the council. He had obtained the agreement from Manager Campbell, and the latter wished the matter expedited, as he was about to leave on a two months' eastern trip. The mayor had sug- guested three yeara as the life of tbe contract, which the company bad apparently favored. The council agreed on this time, but thought that tbe privilege ot an extension of the contract for another period of three years should be made optional. Tbe contract, if executed, becomes operative on the 1st day of September next. The company agrees to deliver 2000 volts of power at the city limits at lc per kilowatt. Tbe company objects to the city furnishing power to parties outside the corporation limits. The conUact wns discussed at length, and a few alterations were decided upon. It was finally referred to the city solicitor, with instructions to draw up a new agreement, making the suggested changes, and submit it at the next meeting. The question of the sale of the city's machine at the smelter power station was also brought up by the mayor, but no definite action was taken. Aid. Hardy was granted leave to introduce the waterworks bylaw, and it was put through the first three stages, including consideration in committee. The bylaw prohibits the use of city water for lawn sprinkling purposes between the hours of 8 o'clock in the evening and fi o'clock in the morning. A larger nozzle than 3-16 of an inch it also forbidden. Tlio council then adjourned to a separate session Monday evening. them to Manager Campbell, of the power company. On motion of Aid. Woodland and McCallum, the mayor was authorized to negotiate with Manager Jay P. Graves and Superintendent A. B. W. Hodges for the sale of the city's machine at the smelter power station on a basis of $7000. The mayor reported that the poundkeeper was doing a thriving business at present. Up to the present this official's vigilance had cost the mayor $1 and Aid. McCallum $1.50. On motion of Aid. McCallum and Horner, the city clerk was authorized to purchase a flag for the city build ing for state occasions. The city clerk was instructed to notify the railway companies to cut all obnoxious weeds on tbeir right of ways inside tbe city limits. The matter of proper drainage in a portion of the hotel district was re ferred to the health and relief committee. The council then adjourned till next Monday night. The mayor and all the aldermen were present at the session Monday evening, On motion, the waterworks bylaw was reconsidered and finally passed. The agreement with the West Kootenay Power & Light* company was then considered. After a brief discussion it was approved as amended at the last meeting and the city solicitor was instructed to prepare two copies of the same and forward Nineteen Silver Cups Nineteen silver cups are to be presented to the winners in special classes of exhibits at the Spokane Interstate fair this year. Manager R. H. Cosgrove states that this is the largest number of trophy cups ever given at any fair of the association.

FROM THE MINES Provincial Mineralogist's Report for 1906 Has Just Been Published Shows Value of Production Exceeds All Preceding Years The report of the provincial mineralogist, W. F. Robertson, for the past year has just been published, It gives gratifying information as to the year's production of mineral, showing a greater value having been derived from mines in 1906 than in any previous year. The report says that the production for the year 1906 was $24,980,556, which is 11.2 per cent greater than that of 1905, 31.6 per cent greater than that in 1904, and 42.8 per cent greater than in 1903. The increase last year was due chiefly to Boundary and coast districts, with a slight increase in the Cassiar district. East Kootenay and Cariboo districts about held their own last year, while Lillooet and West Kootenay showed a considerable increase. In this latter district, however, Ainsworth more than doubled its output, Rossland and Nelson nearly held their own, but Slocan and the rest of the district show a marked decrease. The tonnage of the ore mined in the province, exclusive of coal, was this past year 1,963,872 tons, some 257,193 tons, or 15 per cent, greater than in 1905. The number of mines from which shipments were mode in 1906 were 154; and of these only 77 shipped over 100 tons each during the year, practically no change from the preceding year. Some 41 mines shipped in excess of 1000 tons each during the year, of which fourteen were in the Boundary district, eight in Nelson mining division, six in Trail mining division, ond five on the coast. The total production for all years up to and including 1906 shows that coal mining has produced more than any separate class of mining—a total of 79,334,798—followed next in importance by placer gold at $78,721 - 103, and third by lode gold at $41,- 015,697. The metal gold, derived from both plncer and lode mining, amounts to $IO!),720,800, thi' greatest nmount derived from anv inie metal or mineral, the next m0*»t important licing copper, of a total gross value of $36,156,* 578, followed by silver at $25,686,008 and lead ut $17)626,780, The values of the total production of the mines of the province for each year from 1890 to 11100 chows that the output has increased nearly tenfold, and has now reached a production for the past year valued at $24,- 980,545, or more than double what it was In 1899. There has been a decrease in the production of placer gold of some •820,800, and at thc same time a decrease in the output of lode gold of $302 453, thus leaving for this metal a balance of 8232,363 as a decrease. The amount of silver produced this ycur was 2,930,262 ounces, having a gross value of SI,897,320, a decrease from the preceding year of $74,497, due chiefly to the decreased production of t he Slocan district. The table shows an output of lead in 1906 amounting to 42,807,217 pounds, valued at 82,667,578, which, although a decrease from the produc tion of the preceding year of 4,172,- 486 pounds of lead, is still greater than that of any other year since 19(10, but owing to the greatly decreased market value of the metal, and in spite of the materially decreased amount produced, the value of the product this year shows an in crease over the preceding year of $268,556. The copper production last year was 42,990,488 pounds, valued at $8,288,565, as compared with 37,- 692,251 pounds the year before, valued at $5,875,222, showing an increase in the tonnage of production and in value of $2,412,343. The gross output of the coal mines of the province for the year was 2,899,076 tons (2240 pounds), which with 17,230 tons taken from stock, makes a total consumption of 1,916,- 306 tons. Of this total amount 1,361,728 tons were sold as coal, of which 681,899 tons were for consumption in Canada, and 679,839 tons were exported, while 381,774 tons were used in making coke and 172,805 tons were used under the companies' boilers, etc., or sold lo* cally. The amount of coke made was 199,- 227 tons (2240 pounds), which together with 11,670 tons taken from stock, made the sales for the year 210,897 tons, j The Vancouver Island collieries mined in 1906 some 1,178,637 tons of coal, which with 17,230 tons taken from stock, makes the total amount of coal disposed of 1,195,857 tons, distributed as follows: Sold as coal in Canada, 531,106; sold as coal in the United States, -133,138 tons; sold as coal in other countries, 15,783 tons; total sold as coal, 980,072 tons; used under companies' boilers, etc., 138,057 tons; used in making coke, 78,728 tons; grand total, 1,195,857 tons. The total coul sales of the coast collieries show an increase of 172,042 tons, or about 21.3 per cent over the preceding year. The amonnt of coal exported to the United States is very little greater than it was last year,but amounts to about 45.8 per cent of the total sales. The chief market for this coal is still San Francisco, although Alaska, with its increased requirements for mining und smelting, has become un important factor in the export trade, and promises to become greater. The consumption of coal in that portion of British Columbia served by thc coast collieries shows a murked incrciise, being 150,774 tolls, or 39 per cent greater than during the preceding year.

NEWS OFTHE CITY Road to Gloucester Camp Will Be Finished in a Week Rapid Work un the Kettle Valley Line's New Station E. Spraggett, the government rood superintendent for Grand Forks riding, who is spending $2000 on the extension of the Franklin camp road to Glouoester camp, expects to complete the work in another week, after which he will move his force of men to Phoenix, where he will do some long-needed work on the wagon roads. The road from Franklin to Gloucester will be of great benefit to the latter camp. The bridge across Franklin creek is a substantial affair, and a credit to the builder. The framework of tbe Kettle Valley line station on Third street has been erected, and the carpenters are making rapid progress on the building. Tbe platforms around the structure bave been completed. Miss Rawlinson arrived in the city yesterday from England, and will visit her brother, E. H. C. Rawlinson, here for a week or two. E. A. McCauley, Canadian customs officer at Carson, has been quite low during the present week, having been attacked by a violent hemorrhage of the lungs on Monday last. At present his condition is reported to be slightly improved. Mrs. Kate Hoffman, of Spokane, formerly proprietress of the Clarendon cafe in this city, hus been visiting friends here during the present week. Fniling health has compelled her to dispose of her business in Spokane, aud she intends to loave shortly for a visit with relatives in Montana. W. J. Brown his listed his orchard land tracts with a Nelson real estate firm. One of the new features at the coming Spokane Interstate fair is the miners' rock drilling contest, for which a purse of $1250 is given. This money will be divided as follows: 8900 for a double hand contest, of which 8500 is for first prize, $250 for second and 8150 for third; 8.'I50 for a single hand contest, of which 8250 is for first and 8100 for second. Fred McKeehan, U. ,S. immigration inspector ut this point, bus been spending several days hi Spokane during thc present week. l>. McEwen, of Medicine Hat, western representative of the Toronto Daily Globe, was a visitor ill the city last Saturday in the interest of that publication, A. M. Dunham and L. A. Manly left for Spokane last .Sunday morning on a business trip. For an impressive illustration of thc phrase "making up for lost time," just note what the sun is doing.

C. FRIDAY, JULY 12, 1907 payment is insisted upon, and in this regard alone it may be said that many thousands of dollars of the people's money have heen saved. Lands bave found their way into ihe hands of the settlor, with the result that under tho present administration thousands of homesteaders are found each year occupying the lands as against hundreds under a Conservative administration. Lands heretofore supposed to be worthless have been transferred to irrigation companies upon the express condition that hundreds nf thousands of dollars shall first be expended in irrigation ditches. Coal lands remain tho property of the government. They may he leased for a term of years, and it is provided j that (ho actual settler shall purchase j his Fuel at a reasonable price. The lands must be worked or they revert to the government. Having created the favorable conditions, the government expects much of the people who havo the opportunity of ex- which exist here in such variety and abundance. The people have been quick to avail themselves 'of. these advantages, and the result is obvious Upon every hand. Manufacturers have just completed the largest year in the history of the Dominion; receipts from all sources passed the highest mark last, month. Prosnects are bright upon every hand. From all sections of the west come reports of large crop probabilities, and nil things seem to be working logother for good. Under these cifeuin- .stances why would tin: people exchange tbey advantages Ihey know they possess for tin* uncertainties of Conservative rule? No sensible citizen will be misled hy thc injection of immaterial issues into the aldermanio contest today. It is simply a question of electing thc man who possesses the best business qualifications for the position, and who is most vitally interested in the welfare and advancement of the city. The license question does not e'lt any figure in the fight. The license commissioners have heen appointed and will hold oflice until the end of Ihe year. The council has no control over their actions. It i.s therefore plain this is not an issue, although it has been brought forward as a sufficient cause for the defeat of one of the candidates. The charge of increased taxation against the present couneil falls equally flat when analyzed. The council was compelled to strike the present lax rate in order to meet obligations incurred liy former boards and to pay current expenses. Another loan or repudiation were the only alternatives left tho members in order to lower the rate. We believe they adopted the wisest course out of an unpleasant situation, and we feel confident a majority of the ratepayers will agree with us. The salary question has, perhaps, some bearing on the election; hut the ratepayers have already said they are willing to remunerate the mayor for his loss of time while in olliee. Why should they turn around today—after he has served six months—and say he' •mist donate his services to the city —or resign? It does nol look like an honorable way of treating our public ollieials. Taking everything into consideration, wc believe thai .Mr. Geo. II. Hull should be elected by a large majority. He is thoroughly capable, with a long business training; possesses considerable property holdings, and is an old-timer of (he city. If elected he will serve the city failhfully and efficiently. Of his opponent, Mry W. S. .Miller, we know very little, and he is apparently not very Well known in the business community. The Liberal government has been true to thc people who reposed their confidence in the men chosen to govern tbe country. While both parlies can promise prosperity, any parly may so direct the affairs of a nation tbat avorablo conditions under which prosperity inav flourish can he created. This was done by the Liberal government. Ils western immigration policy peopled this country with sturdy homeseekcrs, Transpnrtntiop was facilitated so that eastern Canada participated in the Impetus given to business of ev ry character. The tariff was BOOrdored thnt sufficient protection was given to infant industries, and at Ihe same lime it was so spread out over the entire list of importations in a moderate manner that enhanced revenue was the direct result, and means were provided whereby great public works for the benefit of all the people were commenced and carried to successful completion. The strictest supervision was promised over pub lie expenditure. Proper economy, having regard to a due performance of the public service, was promised and duly put in practical operation.

To guard against this, Tho Sun job olliee is constantly ploiting the natural advantages behig augmented with the latest fash ions in type and other material. The past week has afforded two striking examples of the truth of the saying, "Deliver us from from our friends." In the ftr»t instance the Conservative party might well suppli catc ardently to be delivered from the railings and mouthinga of Dr. Sproule and his flippant colleague, Col. Sam Hughes. Jn the second instance, the name of Mr. King, deputy minister of labor, has been dragged into politic*-, without warrant, without excuse and without the authority of either himself the leaders of the Liberal party, but upon the ipsit dixit only of a correspondent of the Toronto News, n newspaper unfriendly to the government, and one in no sense in the confidence of tin* Liberal party. For an opposition newspaper to nominate a civil servant for cabinet honors is in- consiftent, but for a correspondent of in opposition paper to do so is asinine. I'he subject may be dismissed by the observation that .Mr. King is performing his duties to the satisfaction ofthe minister and with credit to himself, and neither he nor the Liberal party urn responsible for the item. The story, according to Ottawa advices, was published without sanction or thority, It is not even based ou political rumor, and may he attributed solely to Ihe vagaries of (lie cor- ipoudont with whom i( origuuted.

Phone No. 305 fOpposite CP.R. Station Timber Licenses A decision rendered last waek in the supreme court of Canada is one of utmost importance to the timber interests and mill men and timber land speculators in British Columbia. The government issued a Mr. Norton a timber license, Mr. Norton later claiming a renewal of it. The government disputed his right to this renewal, and Norton declared a petition of riglit antl wanted to have the question tried out in court as to whether he was legally entitled to renewal. The provincial secretary, Mr. Fulton, refused to allow tho question to be decided by the courts and refused to submit the petition to the lieutenant/ governor for his fiat, it heing necessary to obtain it in order to settle a question of this kind, Norton then commenced his action, claiming the provincial secretary had no riglit to deny hiin this accession to the courts, and that his action in refusing to submit the petition to the lieutenant-governor was an illegal act of obstruction. Mr. Norton sued for damages. The trial came on in July last before a special jury, but the trial judge ruled that Mr. Norton had no case, withdrew the case from the jury and dismissed the action. Norton then appealed to the full court. Mr. Justice Irving was of the opinion that Mr. Norton had a good case of action against the department fur what he had done antl that he was entitled to have it left to the jury; the other members of the court, the chief justice and Mr. Justice Martin were of the opposite opinion, the result being that Mr. Morton's appeal to the full court of British Columbia was dismissed. Mr. Norton then appealed to the supreme court of Canada, where he was successful, Mr. Justice Irving's dissenting opinion heiug upheld by that body. THE BOUNDARY DISTRICT Phoenix will hold an election on the 16th inst. to elect two aldermen to fill vacancies caused by resignation. The Grantl Forks and Greenwood bands furnished the mnsic for the celebration in Republic on the 4 th. The Phoenix council hits decided to sell the city team. Tlte upset price has been fixed at 8000. There are still positions in the van ous mines of the Boundary for good machine men. A depth of 150 feet has been oh tamed in the shaft of the Little Ber tha mine, near this city, with a four foot ore showing. The C onsolidated Minim; k Smelting Company of Canada, owning the Snowshoe mine, is making every preparation to ship the ore of that property on an increasingly extensive scale.
